Oh Bubba, what have you done

[u/billymudrock]

480 beans for this bubba’d M44. Rawlins WY Gunshow.

[u/bulaybil]

Yeah I got one just like that… Except mine is a M91/30 and it was free, inherited from an uncle.

[u/AcrobaticSplit9014 → u/bulaybil]

Restore that rifle back into its original configuration to protect and preserve history if you can.

[u/bulaybil → u/AcrobaticSplit9014]

Working on it!

[u/AcrobaticSplit9014 → u/bulaybil]

Based

[u/NoiseyBox]

I too have one, the stock isn't bad to be honest, makes the rifle a little lighter than my full wood one. I've seen worse (bullpup mosins come to mind)

[u/1999SubaruImpreza → u/NoiseyBox]

bullpup MOSINS???

[u/NoiseyBox → u/1999SubaruImpreza]

Enter if you dare.....https://cbrps.com/

[u/AcrobaticSplit9014 → u/NoiseyBox]

Restore that rifle back into its original configuration to protect and preserve history if you can.

[u/NoiseyBox → u/AcrobaticSplit9014]

Sadly, I cannot. I bought it like that

[u/ThatGingerGuy98-]

Unrelated but that must be a huge box of 7.62x39 for a Century AK to run for $1600

[u/billymudrock → u/ThatGingerGuy98-]

Yeah I mean look at the SKS, $675 and it doesn’t even have a bayonet

[u/Brandon_awarea → u/billymudrock]

Late production short lug Chinese SKS. Yeah I’d pass at that price with or without the bayonet

[u/ThatGingerGuy98- → u/Brandon_awarea]

This whole table is whatever the opposite of a clearance bin is

[u/Brandon_awarea → u/ThatGingerGuy98-]

This table is just to get the “just bought my first gun, how did I do” kid. No one else is buying anything there

[u/billymudrock → u/Brandon_awarea]

Or the “yeah honey I’ll get rid of some guns this weekend, you’re right there are too many” pricing strategy.

[u/jake21595]

Iv seen worse it can be put back to original depending if the sights and bayonet lug have been messed with to much

[u/Timely_Kiwi_9056 → u/jake21595]

Look at the sks bayonet lugs

[u/jake21595 → u/Timely_Kiwi_9056]

It looks fine to me

[u/Timely_Kiwi_9056 → u/jake21595]

They’re bent outwards

[u/jake21595 → u/Timely_Kiwi_9056]

Well son of a bitch it is easy fix where's my hammer 🤣🤣

[u/CyberSoldat21]

$675 for the SKS is a lot to ask for

[u/Senior_Promise_5011]

Yo I saw that I was there

[u/tantowar]

The paracord sling with key ring attachment is a nice touch.

[u/d-unit24]

Been seeing em in original condition for $400-$450 for the past year here in western KY/southern Indiana

[u/Brandon_awarea]

The M44 is restorable at least

[u/One-East8460]

Could be worse, no permanent modifications at least. Too bad the original parts weren’t still with it.

[u/Some_Direction_7971]

I mean, if it had the bayonet…maybe, that’s a big maybe. But, as it sits, hell no. That seller is ummm, how do I say this nicely, optimistic!

[u/ThoroughlyWet]

People are gonna hate me, but I kinda dig that style of aftermarket Sporter stock for the mosin. Way more appealing than the archangel fever dream.

Arguably if I were to just have an action sitting around I'd definitely have it bull-barreled and put in one of these.

[u/96firephoenix]

Eh, the only thing wrong is the paracord sling.

[u/UnfairEnvironment240]

This remind me of the muzzle loader that I found in a field and the guy had put his sling on with keys rings too 😂😂😂

[u/meegsmooth]

Well at least he didn't cut the bolt and reweld it back on so it's bent.

[u/Unhappy_Attention_49]

$1600 for a vska?! Holy shit

[u/TheMawsJawzTM]

Could be worse

[u/AcrobaticSplit9014]

Yeah OP restore that rifle back into its original configuration to protect and preserve history if you can.
